THE WAVE MAKER

It’s called ocean spritz for a reason. It infuses your strands with the carefree vibe and texture that is only possible after weeks spent in the land of sea and sun. It’s so good, it makes beach bumming a legit hairstyle (and lifestyle). EIMI Ocean Spritz, Rs 675

THE SUPERIOR SCRUNCHIE

Usually, scrunchies are a) ugly b) leave annoying dents in your hair and c) always go missing. This one is none of the above. The spiral ties hold hair off your face, get you ready for the gym, come in cutesy hues and glide on and off without a snag in sight and without a trace. And while we can’t promise you’ll never lose them—that depends mostly on your personality—we can promise that you’ll never want to. The InvisiBobble, Rs 400 for 3.Available at Jean-Claude Biguine salons.

THE HAIR DOCTOR

The unassuming white tub would have you believe it’s just another hair mask. Except it’s not. At least, not the usual kind—it needs to go on before you shampoo and not after. When you’ve been high on styling or product addictions, use this rich creamy formula to check your hair into rehab and come out clean. Philip Kingsley Elasticizer, Rs 2,550

THE KNOT HANDLER

There are more than a hundred brushes but this is called Tangle Teezer for a reason. In their every avatar, the brushes are like tangle ninjas, kicking every knot and snarl out of the way, but so gently. The latest member not only detangles, it also adds volume, texture and shine. Tangle Teezer Finishing Hairbrush, Rs 1,499

THE LUXE LATHER

Who says jewellery and real estate are the only things worth investing in? Your crowning glory needs a solid one, too. Think of this as a down payment today to reap the rewards of healthy, shiny, fabulous hair tomorrow. The star ingredient in the collection is abyssine, a marine-derived self-defense expert that ensures you will not be “subject to any market risk.” Kérastase Chronologiste, Rs 2,500 onwards

THE FRIZZ MANAGER

If we were to list all the celebs, hairstylists and editors whose bags you’d find this in, we’d need a few (100!) pages. In a sea of oils, this one is a true multitasker—it doubles up as a pre-shampoo treatment, adds gloss, subtracts frizz and can even be used for a good ol’ massage. Now you do the math! Moroccanoil, Rs 2,880

THE CUTICLE CARETAKER

We all know that coloured hair is high on maintenance and damage. But also (very!) high on visual appeal. What you may not know is that there’s a formula that slips in between your hair and the colour and prevents the nasty effects, leaving you with just the visual appeal. Olaplex, you evil genius! Olaplex, Rs 2,500
